CHURN-POWER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,450, dated May 10. 1881.

Application filed March 30, 1881.

To all whom it may concern Beit known that LGHARLES M. TRAUTMANN, a citizen of the United States, of Trautman station, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Churn-Powers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in churns; and it consists ofdouhle dashers which are operated by means of a fly-wheel in combination with a crank, pitman, and double crank-arm, with link-rods connecting the same to the shafts of thechurn-dash, the parts being supported upon aframe mounted upon the lid of the churn.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical elevation, representing my improveinen ts attached to acom mon barrelchurn. Fig. 2 is an elevation, partly in section, on line m :12, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view on line 3 3 Fig. 1, showing the dashers in dotted lines.

A represents the common barrel-churn.

13 represents the lid, which is made in two parts, Z) I).

0 represents a frame having a. base, 0, rigidly attached to the lid B. V

D represents an upright post, and is cast on and forms a part of the base 0.

E represents a cross-head securely attached to the top of standard D. Through this crosshead E are pierced two holes, which form bearings or guides for the dash-rods F F. Through the lid are pierced two similar holes,f, which form lower guide-bearin gs for the dash-rods F.

G represents a fly-wheel, which is mounted upon a shaft or stud, which is supported in a bearing in column D. i

H represents a crank rigidly secured to the shaft of drive-wheel Gr.

I represents a pitman, one end of which is pivoted to crank II and the other to a walking-beam, K.

(No model.)

L. Holes are provided in the walking-beam K and dash-rods F, so that links F may be adjusted to increase or decrease the length of their stroke.

N N represent dashers attached to the lower end of the dash-rods F. They are semicircular in shape and pierced with holes in the usual manner.

' O 0 represent catches for securing the lid to the barrel of the churn.

P represents the handle on the fly-wheel G, which the operator takes hold of to revolve the wheel and operate thedashers.

This improvement accomplishes two desired ends. It provides easy and rapid means for operating the dashers, so that the churning is effected not only easily but more quickly than by the use of the single dash.

I claim-- A churn-power in which is combined a stationary frame, 0, )rovided with a standard, D, having a cross-head, E, forming guides and supports for the two dash-rods F F, the flywheel Gr, having the crank H, the pitman I, the walking-beam K, and the rods L, connected at their lower ends with the walking-beam and at their upper ends with the dash-rods, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
